Equipment

How to make it

#1 Using a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the mousse and blend until a smooth paste is formed. Set aside in the fridge.

#2 Place a sheet of cling film on a firm kitchen surface and place a turkey piece on top, then cover with another sheet of cling film.

#3 Using a rolling pin or mallet gently flatten the turkey breast until flat and thin, taking care not to over beat. Repeat for all 4 pieces of turkey.

#4 Lay the meat out on a fresh piece of cling film and divide the pheasant mixture equally on to the meat.

#5 Carefully roll the meat up to form a sausage type roll, squeeze the ends of the clingfilm together to secure the roll. Repeat for the remaining pieces of meat.

#6 Place a pan of water on the stove and bring to the boil. Then, turn down the heat slightly to allow it to just steam.

#7 Place a steaming tray on the pan and steam the rolls for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and, once cooled, place in the fridge until ready to serve.

#8 When you are ready to prepare the dish, remove the roll from the clingfilm, place on a baking tray and cook in a hot oven at 200° / 8 gas for approximately 10 minutes.

#9 Once cooked, remove from the oven and slice into ¼ inch thick pieces and place on a bread crouton. Cut to same size then decorate with a little cranberry. Serve hot or prepare in advance and serve cold.

Now dig in and enjoy a festive treat!
